Abstract

This paper shows the socioeconomic characterization of the sugar cane cutters of the Ingenio Risaralda; moreover, the paper illustrates the perceptions of the workers to a transition towards the mechanized cutting of sugar cane and its impact over their livelihoods. Some surveys were used to identify the socioeconomic characteristics and using a number of keywords to identify the perceptions about the technological transition. The results show that cutting mechanized of sugar cane will produce a significant impact on the quality of life not only of La Virginia cutters but also of Caimalito.
